This happens every 2 years
Every 2 years, the entire House is up for election, and 1/3 of the Senate is up for election.
Since there are 100 Senators, and 100 is not evenly divisible by 3, every 6 years there are 34 Senate seats up for election rather than 33.
The number of Senate seats up for election might vary a little bit if a Senator doesn't finish their term (because they retire, get elected to a different Federal office, die, etc.)
